Learn about composite shots on OnePlus 11 5G & shoot like a pro

In fact, the seemingly easy-to-use and highly portable camera in your phone can create award-winning content, provided you have the right model to point and shoot with. The new OnePlus 11 5G, for instance, is being touted as one of the best phones for those passionate about photography as it comes with a great camera and also supports settings for composite photographs that spell true visual excellence.

The process of composite photography, where you can combine two or more clicked frames to create a masterpiece,requires a careful blend of colours, composition and other such characteristic elements that need to be merged together perfectly. But at the core of it is the right kind of base photographs which can be merged to create one.

This smartphone features theindustry-first 3rd Generation Hasselblad Camera for Mobile, featuring Natural Colour Calibration. With a 50-megapixel camera, a massive 1/1.56″ sensor size and a large ƒ/1.8 aperture,this smartphone is configured for those who like to shoot on the go and make sure they never miss a precious memory unrecorded.

The high-performance camera can take brighter and sharper shots even when you are on the move, say spotting some wildlife aboard a safari or capturing the iconic Taj Mahal in the night sky over the summer break. The possibilities of what you can do are endless.

The main camera is backed up by another impeccable lens – a high-resolution ultra-wide 48-megapixel camera sensor with a 1/2″ sensor size – which creates just the perfect base photos for composite photos. This lens allows you to fit more in every frame with its 115° field of view, and HDR and macro photography capabilities. What you get are clear shots where all the important details are clearly documented.

Add the magic of Hasselblad Portrait Mode, with which you can cut the clutter of the background and focus on what you want to see in every frame. A 32-megapixel portrait tele lens with autofocus churns out almost DSLR-like depth-tracking, natural bokeh, and light flare effects. The result simulates stunning professional portraits captured by an actual Hasselblad camera fitted with XCD 30 mm and 65 mm lenses.

Here is a step-by-step tutorial that will help you to create the most amazing composite photos using the built-in camera app your OnePlus 11 5G, along with a photo editing app.

• First, start with an idea. Envisage what kind of composite photo you wish to create and zero in on the kind of photos you would need to take and merge together to get the desired shot.
• Now, open the camera app on your OnePlus 11 5G and take two or more photos of the same scene using different elements. Pro tip: Take the photos from the same angle and position for the best results.
• Next, download a photo editing app on your phone. You can choose a free version to start with or look at a paid one with some additional features. There are plenty of options available on the Google Play Store, such as Adobe Photoshop Express, PicsArt, or Snapseed.
• Import the photos you want to use for the composite shot into the photo editing app. You can select as many frames as you like.
• This is where the real work begins. Select the first photo you want to use as the base image for the composite shot. You can adjust the brightness, contrast, and other settings to make it look better and align with the background that you have in mind for the composite shot. You can change the contrast or colours, or even remove unwanted elements from the frame.
• Similarly, edit the other photos that you are going to use. You can use the masking tool to cut out the elements you want to add from the second photo or use the brush tool to paint over the element you want to keep and erase the rest.
• Now, all the elements for your composite shots are ready. You need to paste the add-ons to the edited base image to achieve the final outcome. You can choose to cut out different elements and paste them onto the base image after adjusting the size, position, and rotation to fit the scene.
• Your masterpiece is ready. Save it to your photo gallery on your OnePlus 11 5G. Print it or share it on social media.
